TEMS, is it worth it?

BUT TEMS doesnt even compare to the performance you'll get with a nice spring and shock setup or better yet coilovers.

Stock is a coilover. We seem to be getting past the strut part, but people still want to call it a strut. A strut replaces the upper ball joint. It is load bearing.

Stock is a coil over shock.

For me... TEMS is TOTALLY worth it! Please note that I replaced my old (worn the F out) shocks with Illumina IIs and a set of new Eibach Pro springs.

:thumbup:

Fine. "Aftermarket Adjustable Coilover setup". Good?

Someone mentioned the drop on the eibach springs...

I never had a problem with the drop until I added a Bomex 3-hole lip and the MkIV rims. The rims added a slight drop as the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo was less than stock - just a smidge. The look was AWESOME though.

I would like a 1/4 shim to raise up the front just a tad - and my new rim/tire combo will also bring the nose up just a smidge as it will be just slightly taller than the factory wheel/tire diameter.

Who would switch from a coil over to a conventional damper? So it is understood that nobody is going to the alternative. Hey I have an idea. I will replace my 7M with an inline 6. How does that sound?

So do you not know anything about it at all or what? (serious question)

When I'm cruising down the highway, my car feels like a Lexus. The suspension is staying stock. I believe mine have started to wear and will need replacing within the year. I keep it in sport and maintain a very nice ride....for now.
